Australia's goalkeeper surprises after penalty shootout Mbappé and Egypt
The Egyptian national football team won against Australia via a 4-2 penalty shootout after finishing 1-1 in regular and extra time during the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. They advanced to the quarter-finals to face Argentina. The decision by Australian coach Tony Popovic to substitute goalkeeper Patrick Beach before the penalty shootout, without prior notice, sparked widespread controversy after the backup keeper failed to save Egypt's penalties. Meanwhile, Egypt employed a pre-planned strategy by studying Kylian Mbappé’s penalty kick through close watch and making adjustments before he took the shot, which helped them secure their qualification to the next stage of the tournament.
